After having played this properly for a few days I can definitely say I recommend it.
It's early access, so there's still a lot of stuff to be added, but at this stage it's already totally playable and really enjoyable.
If you enjoyed the first Mount & Blade games, you'll like this one too.
There's still a few bugs and some balancing issues, some dialogue missing, but it hardly bothers me.
The only thing I miss, is the 'enable death' option, which doesn't seem to work yet sadly.
Apart from that this seems a great addition, nay, improvement to the Mount & Blade game series.
